RTLS API
Query real-time location and sensor data via REST

The RTLS API is suited for occasional or periodic location and/or sensor queries based strictly on device identifiers. The RTLS API answers: what is the current location and packet payload?

Pareto's RTLS API queries are identical to those of reelyActive's barterer open source software (OSS) package. Applications built on the RTLS API will be compatible with both Pareto and the OSS. Packet payloads are decoded using reelyActive's advlib OSS package.

Both JSON and HTML are supported: any route can be queried via browser for a human-readable response.


Where is ___?

The /whereis route provides real-time location data and the most recent packet payload. The query is performed on a specific transmitter based on:

  • a transmitter identifier, for example:
    pareto.reelyactive.com/whereis/transmitter/fee150bada55

Consult the barterer documentation for details concerning:

transmitter  




What is at ___?

The /whatat route provides real-time location data and the most recent packet payloads. The query is performed on a specific receiver based on:

  • a receiver identifier, for example:
    pareto.reelyactive.com/whatat/receiver/001bc50940810000

Consult the barterer documentation for details concerning:

receiver  




What is near ___?

The /whatnear route provides real-time location data and the most recent packet payloads. The query is performed on a specific transmitter based on:

  • a transmitter identifier, for example:
    pareto.reelyactive.com/whatnear/transmitter/fee150bada55

Consult the barterer documentation for details concerning:

transmitter
